Medical Xpress / New clues raise hopes for better treatment of RSV in babies
Future therapies for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) must target both the virus and the immune response to ensure babies get the best possible outcomes, a new study by researchers at UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital ...
Phys.org / Netflix's 'Heartstopper' sparked global book-buying boom, study finds
A Netflix adaptation helped transform "Heartstopper" from a popular graphic novel into a global mainstream publishing success, according to new research from The University of Manchester and Princeton University.
Phys.org / Trees for hotter cities: New approach can bolster community input in meeting targets
Efforts to plant more trees in cities could be boosted thanks to a new tool for planners and community groups, published by an international group of researchers. Residents, policymakers and tree officers in Cardiff, Milton ...
Tech Xplore / New test measures how well humanoid robots handle real-world forces
As technology advances, more is expected from humanoid robots. What were once seen as gimmicks that could walk, if not like us, then close to it, are now pulling their weight and doing more work in places like factories. ...
Medical Xpress / Second prostate-specific membrane antigen PET scan can change treatment for nearly half of prostate cancer patients
A second prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET scan changed treatment plans for nearly half of patients whose first scan was negative, according to new research published in the July issue of The Journal of Nuclear ...
Phys.org / Textbook chemistry gains blue-light upgrade to build complex drug molecules in fewer steps
In drug discovery, building complex molecules quickly is the name of the game.
Tech Xplore / New soft sensor can turn touch into robotic action without electronics
Built from flexible, compliant materials, soft robots are gaining relevance for tasks ranging from minimally invasive surgery to deep-sea exploration but remain held back by a fundamental constraint. To sense their surroundings ...
Medical Xpress / Normal oxygen levels can miss severe breathlessness driven by carbon dioxide
A study led by biomedical scientist Erica Heinrich at the University of California, Riverside, highlights a critical gap in how clinicians detect and treat breathing distress (dyspnea), particularly in patients on ventilators. ...
Medical Xpress / The same sounds are mapped similarly in the human and mouse brain, study finds
While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with their sight, hearing, touch and other senses. Neuroscience research suggests that the brain does not ...
Phys.org / Low-cost genome sequencing approach is powering genetics research on mental illness and many other studies
For researchers on the hunt for the genetic roots of disease, the cost of deep whole-genome sequencing makes it challenging to conduct large genetic studies involving thousands of participants, which are needed to reveal ...
Phys.org / New imaging method offers fresh insight into LED materials
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are used in everything from household lighting and mobile phones to large display screens. Improving their efficiency could reduce energy use and enhance performance across a wide range of technologies. ...
Phys.org / Scientists decipher how a psychedelic substance is created, then engineer a plant to produce several at once
Long before scientists began studying them in the lab, mind-altering substances were already being gathered from plants, fungi and even animals for use in rituals, healing practices and mental health treatment. Researchers ...
